Update: Crews were able to gain control over the fast-spreading Calabasas fire by 1:32 p.m. There were no reports of damage to nearby structures.

A brushfire described by a California Highway Patrol officer as "very large" broke out on vacant land near the Calabasas City Hall just before noon Sunday.

The fire was reported north of the Ventura (101) Freeway and east of Las Virgenes Road at 11:51 a.m.

In 15 minutes, it had burned 8 acres of brush, and a second alarm was called at 12:14 p.m. No structures were reported to be in immediate danger, but the fire was burning near several subdivisions and apartment complexes, and was not far from Los Angeles County fire station 125 on Las Virgenes Road.
